How do I print on glossy postcards?

[beichenseer]

We have an Epson C88. I am trying to print a short message on a glossy
postcard from MS Word, but it doesn't want to print. It doesn't feed. But if
I use a full sheet of photo paper, it prints fine. Suggestions?

Just some thoughts...

You would need to use the manual feed tray and grip the paper with the side
arms it would need to be at least 80gms. BE VERY CAREFUL as only high end
printers and photcopiers can handle custom size paper in manual
feed/envelope trays of certain weight and other specifications - and if it
gets STUCK in the internal feeding path you may be up the creek without a
paddle so to speak... if you get my gist. So if your printer recommends it
feeds custom size paper of certain weights such as a custom envelope label
in Manual feed/envelope tray go right ahead.

You usually need to put a few sheeets of the same paper in the manual feed
tray to allow the paper to be picked up and have a "downward thrust" so to
speak.

Again be careful it may GET STUCK INSIDE your printer... and would not be
cheap to rectify.

What do you mean by 'it doesn't feed'? Do you mean that the paper stock
mis-feeds? Nothing you can do about that except use a different printer or
paper stock recommended by the manufacturer. If that is not what you mean,
what exactly happens?
